Are you sure there are more recent builds? It's not just that there
aren't any more recent builds for that machine? The code that builds
the page can be found in CVS at
http://cvs.lysator.liu.se/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/. Look in the xenofarm
project, xenofarm/projects/python/. The page is built by webmaker.py.

*reading* Brr, I don't envy you that one.

Not right now, it doesn't. There is a SEGV in the tests. I'm looking
into that. See separate message for more info.

I don't have accounts to these boxen, but if you want to work on them,
talk to Henrik "Grubba" Grubbstr=F6m (see the machineid.txt in one of
the result folders for a mail address). He's not directly involved,
but if you ask nice, he'll help you out.

I stopped it a while ago because it hanged the tests. I clean forgot
to start it again. Let's see ...
